Brief safety briefing: on one page

Who should be trained

According to clause 2.1.1 of the Procedure, all persons hired for work must undergo training. It is also mandatory for employees who are transferred to another job.

REFERENCE

Is safety training necessary for a person who is not on the company’s staff, but performs work or provides services under a civil contract? The answer depends on the terms of the contract. If it states that the customer pays insurance premiums “for injuries” for the contractor (performer), then training should be carried out. This opinion was expressed by the Ministry of Labor in letter No. PG/02487-6-1 dated February 21, 2020 (see “Labor safety: is it necessary to instruct workers with whom GPC agreements have been concluded?”).

What is the occupational safety service responsible for?

Why should you follow safety precautions in the workplace?

Occupational safety and health at school: instructions and safety precautions

The main reason for the urgent need for strict adherence to safety regulations is to minimize the risk of injury during the production process. But there are other reasons, let’s name them:

• protecting the health and life of the employee, preventing disability;
• probable damage to third parties;
• failure to provide guarantees and benefits (for example, deprivation of 13 salaries for violation of discipline);
• deterioration in the quality of services and products;
• dismissal at the discretion of the employer.

Important! At least 2 thousand people die every year in production facilities in the Russian Federation, and 4 thousand become disabled. The reason is non-compliance with safety regulations.

What types of safety training are there?

People who are not associated with risks do not undergo such training if their activities are not related to:

Features of conducting labor safety briefings

Do remote workers and homeworkers need to be instructed? Yes need. After all, the working conditions of a homeworker must comply with labor safety requirements (Article 311 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). And remote employees must be trained in safe methods of working with equipment and tools that are recommended or provided by the employer (Article 312.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Also see “How to organize remote work, provide employees with resources and calculate taxes.”

All types of training, including initial training, are required for office staff. The fact is that exemption can only be given to those who do not deal with the equipment. Whereas office workers use computers. Therefore, they must undergo initial training.

Registration of labor safety briefings

To record briefings, a log is used, and in some cases, a work permit is used. The date of the knowledge test should be indicated, as well as the signatures of the instructor and the person who attended the course (clause 2.1.3 of the Procedure).

GOST 12.0.004‑2015 contains three recommended forms of logs: for introductory, for targeted instruction and for on-the-job instruction. You can use them or develop your own forms.
